Staying You
Head in my hands thinking about the year ahead as Mrs. Great Plains International, I wanted to make sure as the year went by, I never got “lost” in the process. Deep sighs as I sat at my dining room table tap tap tapping away at the keys to my laptop.
What does that mean to not get “lost”? For me it meant the reminder to “Stay You”. Since I had started right away as one of the first 2014 titleholders I saw nearly everyone join the International Pageant family as they were crowned. As more queens came and clearly an amazing, stunning bunch of women, I had to remind myself to never try and live in anyone else’s shoes on the journey. To help do that, I wrote a personal mission statement of who I thought Mrs. International 2014 was, and wrote out the role through my eyes and in my heart what it meant.
I have only shared this with a few people, but am excited to share it with all of you because it really helped me as I constantly looked at it as a reminder, and also it kept me “in check” so to speak to live on mission in my faith, with my family, for my platform and as a representation of the International Pageant system….none of which should be taken lightly.
Enjoy and good luck if you decide to write you own!
